HOW TO PASS SPATIAL REASONING TESTS

Spatial reasoning tests are widely used during selection processes which require an ability to use practical and visual skills. Our 200+ page guide which contains lots of sample test questions and answers to prepare you fully for your spatial awareness test.

What is spatial reasoning?

Spatial reasoning tests are widely used during selection processes which require an ability to use practical and visual skills.

They are more common in jobs such as engineering and driving roles but are also more and more being utilised on medical and science roles.

Spatial reasoning, or ability as it is sometimes called, involves the candidate visualising and then manipulating different complex shapes and patterns.

In the following video Richard McMunn explains how this guide will help you pass any Spatial Reasoning test:

ABOUT SPATIAL REASONING

Competence in spatial awareness is said to be mostly inherited; however, tests have proven that your ability in this type of test can be greatly improved with targeted practice. Spatial reasoning test questions cover many different areas such as:

Matching shapes;

Rotating shapes and symbols;

The use of 3D cubes and dimensions.

You will also find that some emergency service roles and military roles require an ability to use spatial maps and plans to solve problems and come up with an appropriate solution. Let’s now take a look at some of the different types of test and what they mean to you:

Spatial reasoning tests sample questions

These types of questions will generally show you a pattern in its entirety. You will then witness a series of ‘cut-up’ shapes and it will be your job to assess which one of the series makes up the designated shape correctly. Here is an example of a test involving moving shapes and patterns.

Take a look at the following 3 shapes. Note the letters on the side of each shape:

It is your task to join all of the 3 shapes together with the corresponding letters and then choose from the following options which is the correct answer:

The correct answer is D. To see this for yourself, draw the shape as a whole and then rotate the image. You will see that the only answer you can obtain is answer D.

In this type of spatial reasoning test you will be presented with a number of rotated groups of shapes and images. Two of them will be identical and it will be your task to decide which ones match from the options offered. Take a look at the following shape:

Now decide which of the following shapes and patterns matches the above:

This type of question requires you to ‘put together’ a 2D pattern to create a 3D one. This type of assessment requires an ability to visualise the end result once the 2D image or pattern is constructed. Take a look at the following example question:

You will see that the 2D pattern, once constructed, will look like the first 3D image, simply because it is impossible for the pattern to look like any of the other three options.

Tips for passing spatial reasoning tests

Let’s now take a look at a number of important tips which will help you to prepare for this type of assessment.

Although you will be sitting a spatial awareness test you should still practice lots of different types of psychometric test.

The reason for this is because you need to improve your brain power when it comes to taking tests. Yes, it is essential to practice different types of questions as this will help you to improve your spatial ability and awareness. It will also allow you to improve your confidence at the assessment centre.

When trying out sample test try to use logic. Remember, the tests are usually multiple choice in nature and as such you can usually quickly rule out 2 or 3 answer options. The correct answers is usually the most logical one so don;t try to over complicate things when answering the questions.

Spatial tests and psychometric tests in general are designed so that you don’t finish them. When candidates turn over their test paper they immediately panic when they see how many questions there are. Try not to worry! The tests are designed so that you don’t finish them all. What is important is your ability to answer as many questions as possible whilst still aiming for accuracy. The test centre or person marking your test will deduct marks for incorrect answers or wild guessing.
